After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

My sister told me last year that she was shopping with her kids and feeling cranky and overwhelmed when they started messing with the st patricks day displays, begging her to buy them hats and shamrocks and beads and stuff and she snapped at them

"No! We do not celebrate St. Patrick's day in our family!"

The kids started pouting and some lady started looking at her all weird and WTFish like, so she had to sigh and follow up with:

"It's your aunts birthday on st. patty's. have some respect."

Then the lady just looked at her ever more weird.

I thought it was pretty funny but then I felt bad thinking that the kids were missing out on fun just because my sister remembers me being annoyed about the holiday as a child. I am so selfish! ha.

I've begun to appreciate the holiday more now the past few years, if nothing else, there will always be many things going on to choose from to go out to do on my birthday.

I wish I could get them to grow in my yard. Every year I scatter tons and tons of poppy seeds in the garden beds and they never grow for me at all, maybe just one or two, but not wild and everywhere like I wish them too..

I too have been trying to grow poppyseed, but they won't. My Mom actually has the red ones and they come back every year for her. Well, and every year I say I'm going to get some of the seeds and don't. I will put the seeds out, as usual , and I am determined to get seeds from Mom this year. Poppys are beautiful flower.

Those are a beautiful gift for pepper. Never seen yellow ones. I wanted poppies in my wedding bouquet. But they didn't have them at the grocery store. Oh well, they made the most beautiful one that they could.
